RFK, Jr To HHS

The newest addition to the Trump cabinet or as I call it the Council of Useful Idiots, will be the anti-vaxxer RFK, Jr.

Be prepared for more health disasters and assaults on Medicare and dangerous food…..but the biggest problem I see is like some many of Trump’s nominees RFK,Jr has NO credentials to run the office of HHS

But I digress.

President-elect Trump continued his stream of controversial Cabinet appointments on Thursday, saying he was “thrilled” to announce that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be his nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

  • “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health,” Trump said in a statement on Truth Social. “The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”
  • If he is confirmed, Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, will lead a massive agency that “oversees everything from drug, vaccine, and food safety to medical research and the social safety net programs Medicare and Medicaid,” the AP reports. After Kennedy dropped his independent presidential campaign and gave Trump his endorsement, Trump said he would let Kennedy “go wild” on health policy. Republican Sen. John Cornyn said Kennedy would be treated like any other nominee during the confirmation process, Politico reports. Asked if some of Kennedy’s positions, including his claims that vaccines cause autism, would be a problem, Cornyn said, “I’m sure it will come up.”

So far the Council of Useful Idiots is made up of boot lickers and ass kissers….what a great cabinet we will have.

Where will the nation’s health suffer?  How many preventable disease will run rampant?  What about our food supply, will it be safe or will it become dangerous like so many third world countries that do not have safeguards?

Trump is putting the very ignorant people that voted for him in danger….I hope they are happy with their choice.

Gabbard For DNI

The political circus continues….Trump has picked his nominee for Director of National Intelligence, US top spy, Tulsi Gabbard…..seriously?

Will she be confirmed to serve on the Council of Useful Idiots?

Good question.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he selected former Hawaii Congresswoman Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard to be his Director of National Intelligence (DNI).

Gabbard, a member of the National Guard, was in Congress from 2013-2021. A former Democrat, she recently announced she was joining the Republican party and endorsed Trump in his race against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Gabbard has been an opponent of US involvement in the Ukraine war since Russia launched its invasion. “This war and suffering could have easily been avoided if Biden Admin/NATO had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine’s becoming a member of NATO, which would mean US/NATO forces right on Russia’s border,” she wrote on X on February 23, 2022.

During a presidential run in 2020, Gabbard made opposing “regime change wars” central to her campaign. She staunchly opposed US involvement in Syria and made a trip to the country in 2017 to go on a fact-finding mission. While in Syria, she met with President Bashar al-Assad, enraging hawks in Washington.

Gabbard also made clear during her campaign that while she opposed regime change wars, she was a hawk when it came to the war on terror. “When it comes to the war against terrorists, I’m a hawk,” she said in 2016. “When it comes to counterproductive wars of regime change, I’m a dove.”

Does this choice make sense?  Not in my world.

Since Trump has thumped his chest about ending wars then I can see why he might look toward Gabbard.

But as a sound responsible choice I do not see it.

Why?

I do not think she has the gravitas to run a massive government program….I could be mistaken but time will see just how qualified she is for this position.

Will this make our intel service better?  Will it make us safer?

That is yet to be proven….

Trump just keeps nominating amateurs for his cabinet…..weak individuals that will probably be easy to manipulate to his will.
